William Powell and Diana knew each other for only a few weeks when they eloped. He had previously been married to Carole Lombard and engaged to Jean Harlow at the time of her sudden death.

Diana's best friend was Carole Landis. Diana gave Carole a gold cross in 1938 that she wore for the rest of her life, and was buried wearing.

Sister of actress Maxine Lewis and composer J.C. Lewis.

Remembered by fans of W.C. Fields' movies as Miss Dunk in Um Negócio da China (1934). As Fields tries to sleep on an upstairs front porch, Miss Dunk carries on a shrill, repetitious and reiterative palaver with her mother Josephine Whittell over whether to purchase ipecac or syrup of squills.

Stepmother of William Powell.

My marriage means more than all the world to me - much more than a career.
